Your 4.60-second sprint shows strong acceleration and a clear maximum-velocity window. The greatest opportunity is holding that speed longer: velocity begins to decline after step 14, with braking and contact stability contributing to the drop through the finish.
Your 40-yard sprint result
Your recorded time and three performance targets, from immediate technical improvements to your long-term ceiling.
Your recorded 40-yard dash result.
Your potential performance through improved ground contact, reduced braking, and longer maximum-velocity retention.
Your 6–18 month 40-yard target through stronger acceleration, improved contact efficiency, and better speed retention.
Your long-term 40-yard performance ceiling as sprint strength, mechanics, and maximum-speed retention develop.
Your 4.60-second result reflects more than acceleration. You reach 21.6 mph at step 14, but fall to 18.6 mph at the finish. Improving the quality and timing of your ground contacts is the clearest route to carrying more speed into the final steps.
Your speed rises through acceleration, reaches 21.6 mph at step 14, and then gradually decreases over the final eight steps.
Speed (mph) at each of the 22 steps. The shaded portion highlights where velocity begins to decline.
Your acceleration produces a strong velocity curve, and you reach a genuine maximum-speed phase. The opportunity is to preserve that speed more consistently through the final contacts.
Foot placement, ankle reactivity, and late-swing control become increasingly important after step 14. Reaching ahead of your hips and slower contact release reduce forward speed.

How your body applies useful effort and handles the demands of ground contact.
Green: forward Effort Forces. Orange: Impact Forces. Bars show the central reading within each force band; the table provides the complete ranges in pounds.
| Steps | Effort Forces | Impact Forces | Effort relationship |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–5 | 120–220 lb | 480–700 lb | 29% |
| 6–10 | 90–180 lb | 450–660 lb | 24% |
| 11–14 | 70–150 lb | 400–600 lb | 22% |
| 15–22 | 40–120 lb | 450–720 lb | 14% |
Your forward-effort relationship declines as the sprint progresses.
The early steps convert a greater share of ground contact into forward drive. Later in the sprint, your effort contribution falls while impact remains substantial. That helps explain the loss of velocity from 21.6 to 18.6 mph.
Make each contact more effective by landing beneath the hips, keeping the ankle stable, and releasing the ground quickly.
Your individual movement signature, performance strengths and score profile.
Contact stability, stiffness timing, and force transfer are the clearest areas for improvement. Your posture score provides a foundation to build upon, while targeted work can improve the consistency of your sprint mechanics.
Improving late-swing timing and control can help position the foot more effectively before ground contact, reducing reaching and unnecessary braking.
Improve rhythm and movement coordination through front-side mechanics so each step returns efficiently beneath the hips.
Build reliable ankle stiffness and quick ground contact to reduce collapse and improve the transfer of force into forward speed.
Stay organized through the hips and trunk as speed increases. Stable positioning supports consistent stride rhythm and faster release from the ground.
The physical and mechanical changes that can improve your result.
Improve late-swing control so the foot returns beneath the hips instead of reaching forward as peak speed declines.
Improve coordination and step-down timing during the final third of the sprint.
Develop stiffer, more stable contacts so forward Effort Force remains useful from step 15 to the finish.
Your next performance targets and priorities for the next assessment.
Build the ability to sustain your highest speed with controlled, repeatable mechanics.
Improve the amount of forward movement gained from each contact.
Target the movement qualities that influence late-sprint mechanics.
John, you have the speed to run faster than 4.60. Your analysis points to an identifiable speed-retention issue beginning at step 15. The biggest opportunity is to improve ground-contact efficiency and maintain the velocity you already produce. TrackFIT makes that opportunity visible, measurable, and coachable.
